Meet new friends - yes. Meet guys - I did not have any luck. There were maybe 2 guys out of 3 events that I liked but they were very shy. The rest were pretty desperate.

I went specifically to meetup for dating-ish events though. The other ones based on interests (hiking, brewery, etc) might be different.
